The F1-Engined Mercedes-AMG Hypercar Will Make Around 1000 Horsepower

Last month, Mercedes-AMG finally confirmed that it will be developing a mid-engine hypercar using its Formula 1 engine and hybrid system. Today, AMG division head Tobias Moers has told reporters it will have an astonishing 1000-horsepower output.

Speaking with Autocar, Moers confirmed the 1000-horsepower number, denying other reports stating the rear-wheel-drive, 11,000 rpm-redline car would instead have around 1200 horsepower.
